In the progression of alcohol use disorder, especially during the later stages, individuals may experience a form of psychosis marked by both auditory and visual disturbances. Medical professionals describe these experiences as hallucinations and perceptual distortions that tend to carry a threatening, ominous quality. Observers affiliated with prominent Russian medical institutions note that these symptoms frequently manifest with imagery and color schemes that appear dark, often greenish or black, and they can be intense enough to resemble real, tangible events. Experts from the psychiatric departments of national medical universities emphasize that such phenomena are not simply imagined but rooted in a disorder related to alcohol use and withdrawal. They warn that these episodes require careful clinical assessment and ongoing observation to distinguish them from other mental health conditions that may present with similar perceptual distortions.
